Don't forget you can recycle your real Christmas tree throughout this month. Place your Christmas tree out for recycling with your garden waste collection during January only.

If you live in a flat, you can also have your Christmas trees collected, by calling the Council's call centre on 020 8583 5555 or email recycling@hounslow.gov.uk in January to book a collection.

Alternatively, Christmas trees can be dropped off at the following sites between 2-18 January from 8am-3pm. The trees will be chipped and used in the council’s parks.

Christmas trees drop off sites:

• Gunnersbury Park - main car park, Popes Lane Gunnersbury

• Hounslow Heath - car park, Staines Road (next to the visitor centre)

• Hanworth Air Park - car park area, entrance on Hounslow Road, Hanworth

Christmas trees can also be taken to Space Waye Reuse and Recycling Centre at any time after the Christmas period during normal opening hours.
